>My 10" SN was WAY undermounted, and just about everything fell apart immediately. Even Sky and Telescope reviews stated that the 10" was undermounted.

Your problem is that you tried to drag your 10" SN from setup to setup like a smaller scope. That's why things kept breaking and it seemed to be undermounted.

I set mine up on a permanent mount in a light-weight backyard flip-top shed I designed with concrete floor and using the supplied tripod. No problems, and many joys. So if you purchase this scope, plan to give it a permanent location.

In other words, the only way to keep this from falling apart is to not move it????!!!!!!

Anyone interested in purchasing one of these should really take heed to this! These things are crap!

Had my sn10 over 12 months, it had its faults ie wobbly legs, dodgy viewfinder, plastic focuser. To all you whingers out there, these are inexpensive problems to fix and once fixed the scope is excellent.

The latest Meade cataog shows a slightly different trpod fr the LXD55. Is it "new and improved" or just a newpaint job?
